Hi Joe, Thanks so much for responding. Let me be more specific. I was referring to a section in the book, chapter two, on types <http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/02/the-python-language#Types>. In there it suggests
>>> a = 3>>> print type(a)<type 'int'> > > But that didn't work for me, I got error messages (don't recall what they were at this moment). However, when I tried it using two other methods... 1. > >>> a = 3 >>> type(a) or 2. > >>> a = 3 >>> print(type(a)) Both of those worked for me. Kind of weird because when I checked which version of python I had running it said 2.7 but perhaps I installed w2p with python3. Anyway, at the end I was suggesting that maybe we could update the book some making reference to how things might look with python3. I wasn't sure if that sort of thing is just done here, by mentioning it in the forum and someone will get to it, or if it might be done by pull request.
